A reported $5.2 million asking price
The October 2017 archive featured 34 West Cedar Street in Beacon Hill at a reported $5.2 million asking price. The home was described as dating to 1820 and containing approximately 4,158 square feet.
Its Greek Revival character, multiple fireplaces, interior rooms and wine storage were central to the property description. These were details reported in a historical listing feature, not a current condition report or an offer to purchase the home.
Features and separate neighboring examples
The account also discussed a roof deck, living and entertaining spaces, and the property’s location within the neighborhood. A described view or room use did not establish a current approval or guarantee that the same layout and features remained unchanged.
Separate references included 92 Pinckney Street, 15 River Street, Chestnut Street, Smith Court and Irving Street. Their sizes and prices were individual examples; they did not form a consistent valuation of 34 West Cedar.
Rental and purchase figures served different purposes
A Pinckney Street rental comparison appeared alongside sale listings. Asking rent, asking sale price and a completed transaction are different measures and cannot be used interchangeably.
The article preserves interest in Beacon Hill homes during October 2017 without certifying later sales, current availability or investment returns. Broader comparisons with other Boston neighborhoods did not establish that every named example was located within Beacon Hill.
